Description
HSP RC Truck 1/5 Scale 32CC 4WD Overview
The HSP RC Truck in 1/5 scale delivers true large-scale gasoline power with a rugged four-wheel-drive platform designed for aggressive off-road use. From the first pull start, this truck provides strong acceleration, stable handling, and the realism that only a gasoline-powered RC platform can deliver. Because it arrives ready to run, drivers can focus on performance instead of setup while enjoying a durable and confidence-inspiring driving experience.
Large-Scale Platform and Chassis Design
Built on a full 1/5 scale chassis, this truck offers an imposing stance and excellent stability at speed. The wide track and long wheelbase help keep the truck planted over rough terrain. As a result, the chassis maintains control during high-speed runs, cornering, and hard landings. In addition, the reinforced structure supports repeated off-road use without compromising reliability.
Dimensions and Scale Proportions
With a substantial footprint and generous ground clearance, the platform handles rocks, dirt, and uneven surfaces with ease. The large wheels and tires contribute to predictable traction, while the overall proportions support balanced weight distribution. Consequently, the truck feels stable even when pushed hard.
Engine and Drivetrain Performance of the HSP RC Truck
Power comes from a 32CC gasoline engine designed for consistent output and dependable operation. This engine produces strong torque across the RPM range, which helps the truck accelerate smoothly and pull through demanding terrain. As a result, the HSP RC Truck delivers both performance and realism that electric platforms cannot match.
Four-Wheel Drive Power Delivery
The 4WD system transfers power efficiently to all four wheels, improving traction on loose or uneven surfaces. Durable drivetrain components manage the load under acceleration, while precision bearings support smooth operation. Therefore, the truck maintains forward momentum even when conditions become challenging.
Braking and Control
A reinforced braking system provides reliable stopping power under heat and repeated use. Because braking response remains consistent, drivers retain control during aggressive driving sessions and tight maneuvers.
Suspension, Wheels, and Handling Characteristics
The suspension system plays a critical role in how the HSP RC Truck performs off-road. Long-travel components absorb impacts while keeping the tires in contact with the ground. As a result, handling stays predictable across a wide range of surfaces.
Suspension System Design
Reinforced suspension arms and quality shock components manage bumps and landings effectively. Because the suspension compresses and rebounds smoothly, the truck maintains stability over rough terrain. In addition, the setup reduces chassis roll, which improves control during turns.
Wheels and Tires
Large-diameter wheels paired with aggressive tires provide confident grip on dirt, gravel, and grass. The wide contact patch improves traction during acceleration and braking. Consequently, the truck remains controllable during both straight-line runs and cornering.
Electronics and Control System
The electronics package focuses on reliability and responsiveness. Strong steering and throttle servos deliver precise input even under load. As a result, steering remains accurate while throttle response stays predictable.
Radio System and Adjustments
The included 2.4GHz radio system offers stable signal performance and responsive control. Trim adjustments allow fine tuning of steering and throttle behavior, making it easy to dial in the truck for different driving styles or terrain.
Battery and Power Support
A dedicated onboard battery supplies consistent power to the electronics. Because charging requires no disassembly, routine maintenance stays simple and efficient. Proper charging practices help extend battery life over time.
Assembly and Operation
Out of the box, install the wheels and charge the battery for a minimum of two hours before operation. Once completed, the truck is ready to run and perform as designed.
Battery Charging
The truck features a charging plug and includes a USB charger. No disassembly is required for charging. Allow the battery to cool for 30 minutes after a full charge before operation. Remove the charger within 30 minutes of the green light to help prolong battery life. Store the battery fully charged when not in use.
Crash Durability
Minor crashes are unlikely to cause significant damage. The truck is built to withstand typical off-road impacts and real-world driving conditions.
Fuel Mixing
Use a 25:1 gasoline-to-oil ratio. High-quality mineral-based 2-cycle oil helps reduce carbon buildup and minimize plug fouling. Mix fuel carefully to support engine longevity and consistent performance.
Radio Setup
Although the radio offers multiple channels, operation primarily uses two. Steering and throttle trims, along with control extent adjustments, are located under the rear radio cover for easy access.
Starting Instructions
Ensure the truck and radio are powered on and responding.
Set the choke to the vertical closed position.
Prime the engine three to four times until fuel is visible.
Pull the starter rope gently until it engages, then use short, quick pulls.
Once the engine fires, turn off the choke and restart.
Never crank more than three times with the choke engaged.
Break-In Procedure
Begin with light throttle operation and allow the engine to cool completely between runs. Gradually increase run time and throttle input over several cycles. After proper break-in, full-throttle operation is acceptable. Recheck and tighten the exhaust after the break-in process.
Maintenance and Long-Term Reliability
Check fasteners before each run and apply thread locker to critical hardware such as clutch and brake assemblies. Clean bolts and threads before applying thread locker to ensure proper adhesion. Routine inspection helps maintain reliability and safety.
Plastic Versus Aluminum Components
High-strength ABS plastic components flex and absorb impact energy better than aluminum. Because aluminum transfers shock, it can damage surrounding parts. For off-road use, many plastic components perform better and reduce repair costs.
Disclaimer and Safety Notice
All items sold by 5TRC are brand new. Most customers experience no issues; however, gasoline-powered RC vehicles require responsible operation. Engines and exhaust components become extremely hot and can cause burns. Improper use may result in serious injury or damage. Vehicles are sold without warranty due to the nature of the hobby and user modifications. By purchasing, the buyer agrees to operate responsibly and hold 5TRC harmless.
